J. M. Hikspoors1, Mathijs M. J. P. Peeters1, Nutmethee Kruepunga1,2, Hayelom K. Mekonen1, Greet M. C. Mommen1, S. Eleonore Köhler 1,3 & Wouter H. Lamers 1,4 Couinaud based his well-known subdivision of the liver into (surgical) segments on the branching order of portal veins and the location of hepatic veins. However, both segment boundaries and number remain controversial due to an incomplete understanding of the role of liver lobes and vascular physiology on hepatic venous development. Human embryonic livers (5–10 weeks of development) were visualized with Amira 3D-reconstruction and Cinema 4D-remodeling software. Starting at 5 weeks, the portal and umbilical veins sprouted portal-vein branches that, at 6.5 weeks, had been pruned to 3 main branches in the right hemi-liver, whereas all (>10) persisted in the left hemi-liver. The asymmetric branching pattern of the umbilical vein resembled that of a “distributing” vessel, whereas the more symmetric branching of the portal trunk resembled a “delivering” vessel. At 6 weeks, 3–4 main hepatic-vein outlets drained into the inferior caval vein, of which that draining the caudate lobe formed the intrahepatic portion of the caval vein. More peripherally, 5–6 major tributaries drained both dorsolateral regions and the left and right ventromedial regions, implying a “crypto-lobar” distribution. Lobar boundaries, even in non-lobated human livers, and functional vascular requirements account for the predictable topography and branching pattern of the liver veins, respectively. Te classical anatomy of the liver is well established, with lef and right lobes separated by the falciform liga- ment on the diaphragmatic surface, and the round and venous ligaments on the visceral surface of the liver. Te gallbladder, inferior caval vein and liver hilum further delineate the caudate and quadrate lobes. Because these external landmarks were not helpful in planning liver surgery, an anatomical description that was based on the architecture of the biliary and/or vascular trees was developed ~60 years ago1–5. All models use the branching pattern of either the portal and hepatic veins (“French” model1–3) or the bile ducts (“American” model4,5) as seg- mentation criteria, but difer in their nomenclature. Here we use the accepted “Brisbane 2000” nomenclature6, as modifed by Bismuth (2013). In all concepts, the liver is subdivided into right and lef “hemi-livers” by a plane through the inferior caval and middle hepatic veins, the frst bifurcation of the portal vein or bile duct, and the gallbladder (the Rex-Cantlie “line”)1,3,4,7. Te plane through the inferior caval and right hepatic vein subdivides the right hemi-liver into 2 “sectors”, each being served by 2nd order branches of the portal vein or bile duct. Hjorstjö, however, described the right hemi-liver to contain 3 sectors5, the extra sector arising from the symmetrically distributed 3rd order branches of both bile duct and portal vein in the right anterior sector5,8. Te sectors of the lef hemi-liver difer between the French and American models, and are separated by a plane through the inferior caval vein on the one hand and the lef hepatic vein1 or the umbilical recess/fssure4 on the other (Supplementary Figure 1). All sectors are subdivided into “segments” by a transversely oriented plane through the 1st order branches of the portal vein1 or the distribution of the 3rd order branches of the bile ducts4. Te segments of both models are sim- ilar, except that segment 4 is divided into cranial and caudal portions in the American model only4.

(email: [email protected]) SCIENTIFIC REPORTS | 7: 17109 | DOI:10.1038/s41598-017-16840-1 1 www.nature.com/scientificreports/ segmental concept of the architecture of the liver1, as translated by Bismuth9,10, with 4 sectors and 8 segments, has become the prevailing standard in textbooks. Nevertheless, the concept remains controversial, because dis- sections and casts show that the “real” boundaries of its segments difer substantially from the “model” bounda- ries11–14. Furthermore, the claim that the right hemi-liver consists of 35 rather than 2 sectors1,3,4 has resurfaced8, while the claim that the lef hemi-liver consists of 3 segments1,2,4 is questioned because the main portal trunk may sprout as many as ~20 direct branches and, therefore, segments14,15. Moreover, the sector boundaries in the lef hemi-liver difer in the French and American models ([1]vs [4]; cf 16;). A newer concept that is based on the dis- tribution of the “main” branches of the portal vein and that acknowledges only 2 main hepatic veins17,18 sidesteps these issues and proposes a 4-lobe segmental model with a caudate lobe, 2 portal segments in right hemi-liver and 1 portal segment in the lef hemi-liver. In all models, the caudate and quadrate lobes stand apart and don’t have well-defned boundaries. Although the discrepancies between the models and the real liver can be solved in a practical manner by imaging of the liver vessels and deducing segmental boundaries from these images19, the conceptual issues appear to arise from a limited understanding of the branching pattern of the liver veins. In line, Majno c.s. and Bismuth recently called for a new anatomical foundation of the segmental architecture of the liver in this journal20,21. Because the main players invoke the embryology of the liver vessels to support their arguments1,2,5,22–24, we rea- soned that a better understanding of the developmental appearance of the liver vessels and architecture would shed light on these issues and allow us to propose a consensus model. In a study of early liver development25, we observed that both vitelline veins become incorporated into the two dorsolateral lobes or wings and both umbilical veins into the single ventromedial lobe of the liver, with the gallbladder marking the midline of the ventromedial lobe. In the 5th week, portal veins started to branch of from the portal stem of the right vitelline vein, from the lef umbilical vein, and from the portal sinus that connects both vessels in the liver hilum. In the present study, we followed the development of these early portal vessels and the appearance of the hepatic veins, and show that the defnitive vascular confguration becomes established in the 7th week. Te branching pattern of the portal and hepatic veins appears to result from the blood-distributing function of the umbilical vein and the (crypto-)lobar architecture of the liver, respectively. We conclude that Couinaud’s model identifes surgically removable quantities of the liver rather than segments that refect the branching order of the portal vein. Results Development of intra-hepatic portal venous system. Right-sided portal tree. The portal vein entered the liver on the right-side of the duodenum (arrowhead in Fig. 1A). From CS14 (34 days of development: Supplementary Fig. 1) onwards, branches from the intrahepatic stem of the portal vein (former right vitelline vein) extended into the liver periphery (blue vessels in Fig. 1), Initially, the number of separate twigs increased (Fig. 1A,C), but with progressing development, 3 branches began to predominate (Fig. 1D): branch #1 extended dorsolaterally, #2 ventrolaterally along the right outer edge of the liver, and branch #3 ventrocranially. Branch #3 was usually a side branch of #2. Te branches supplied the posterior (#1), anterior (#2) and lateral (#3) portions of the right hemi-liver. Comparison of panels A, C and D underlines the continuing expansion of the vessels into the liver periphery with increasing age. Furthermore, higher order branches became apparent (Fig. 1C,D). Lef-sided portal tree. Te portal twigs that branched of into the lef hemi-liver (peach-colored vessels in Fig. 1B–F and Supplementary Fig. 2) arose from the intrahepatic portion of the lef umbilical vein. Te venous duct, a lef-right shunt, connected the distal end of the umbilical vein in the liver hilum with the inferior caval vein. With time, more and more portal twigs appeared. At CS14, CS15, CS16, and CS18, we counted 4, 6, 6, and 12 such vessels. Between 6.5 (CS18) and 10 weeks, no further increase was observed. Te position of the roots of these portal branches on the main umbilical trunk ascended in a spiraling fashion from anterior to lateral (Fig. 1D). Note that there are no branches on the posterior side of the intrahepatic umbilical vein (Fig. 1F), which refects the establishment of Cantlie’s line (Fig. 1F and Supplementary Figure 2). Development of hepatic venous system. As the portal veins expanded into the liver periphery, sinu- soids in between them began to transform into hepatic veins (compare CS15 (Fig. 1E) with CS16 (Fig. 2A,B)). Tis process spread radially from the suprahepatic portion of the inferior caval vein, with 2 or 3 main hepa- tovenous trunks emptying into the caval vein (Figs 2–4). Te right hepatic vein expanded caudally into the right dorsolateral side of the liver (Figs 2 and 3). Te middle hepatic vein usually continued as 5 main tributaries: a right medial (ofen called accessory) hepatic vein in the lateral region of the right hemi-liver, a middle hepatic vein with lef and right tributaries, and a lef hepatic vein with lef medial and lef lateral tributaries (Figs 2,3 and 4F, and Supplementary Figure 2).

The authors studied prospectively 26 focal liver lesions in 26 patients who had undergone spiral CT and MRI before surgery. Multiphase spiral CT included non- contrast scans, hepatic arterial-dominant phase, portal venous — dominant phase and equilibrium phase. MRI was performed in all cases. The following sequenc- es were performed: SE and TSE T1- and T2-weighted images, STIR and dynamic T1-weighted FFE study after i.v. administration of gadolinium (Gd-DTPA). The CT and MR scans were prospectively and independently reviewed by three radiologists for visualisation of hepatic and portal veins and segmental localisa- tion of hepatic lesions. The authors used the right and left main portal veins along with transverse fissu- ra, hepatic veins and gallbladder fossa as landmarks for the tumour localisation to specific hepatic segments. The primary segmental locations of the lesions were correctly determined with CT in 22 of 26 focal liver lesions (85%) and with MR imaging in 24 of 26 lesions (92%).

ABSTRACT Objectives: The aim of the study was to know the intrahepatic ramification pattern of portal vein in right lobe of liver & its variations. Methods: 25 human fresh livers were obtained after autopsy and studied by corrosion cast method. Polymeric granules of butyl butyrate were dissolved in acetone and 20% homogenous solution was made. Solution was injected into portal vein and the injected liver was placed in 10 % formal saline for 24 hours at room temperature (20°C) for polymerization of infused butyl butyrate solution. Maceration of liver tissue achieved by whole- organ immersion in 1.8 N KOH solution at 68°C for 24 hrs. Each cast thus obtained was preserved in glycerin and details were studied. Results: The length of the right portal vein varies 0.5 to 1.8 cm (1.2 cm). The right portal vein bifurcated into second order branches - right anterior portal vein (RAPV) & right posterior portal vein (RPPV) in 87 % of the cases, while trifurcated in rest of 13 % of cases.

  • Essential Functional Hepatic and Biliary Anatomy for the Surgeon
    Chapter 2 Essential Functional Hepatic and Biliary Anatomy for the Surgeon Ronald S. Chamberlain Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/53849 1. Introduction That every surgeon will experience complications is a certainty. Indeed, it has been said that if one has no complications, one does not do enough surgery. Yet, major surgical complications are often avoidable and frequently the result of three tragic surgical errors. These errors are: 1) a failure to possess sufficient knowledge of normal anatomy and function, 2) a failure to recognize anatomic variants when they present, and 3) a failure to ask for help when uncertain or unsure. All but the last of these errors are remediable with study and effort. In regard to the last error, most surgeons learn humility through their failures and at the expense of their patients, while some never learn. The importance of a precise knowledge of parenchymal structure, blood supply, lymphatic drainage, and variant anatomy on outcome is perhaps nowhere more apparent than in hepatobiliary surgery. Though the liver was historically an area where few brave men dared to tread, and even less returned a second time, recent advances in anesthetic technique and perioperative care now permit hepatic surgery to be performed with low morbidity and mortality in both academic and community hospitals. That said, surgeons are duly cautioned to inventory their own skills and knowledge before venturing forward into the right upper quadrant. This chapter will review functional biliary and hepatic anatomy necessary for the conduct of safe and successful hepatic operations.
